Soon he decided to gather with his friends in college and create his own video. He along with his college friends including Parth Parmar, Jatin Prajapati, and Vijay Gurjar came up with their first video on a YouTube channel named ‘Amdavadi Man.’ The video was named, Gujju’s While Driving, Lukhkha Friends, Amdavadi Man Vs Wild, Uttarayan ’ This was in the year 2017 when they planned a humorous video for YouTube.

Kushal mentions, ‘When I was an engineering student and started as a meme artist, I never thought that I would end up being a comedy content creator. The only motto behind me making those memes is to pull out frustrations that I went through on a regular basis. Being an engineering student, I had a plain simple dream of working a 9-5 job; however, the small act of creating memes got me so far.’

Adding to this he also says, ‘When I started watching the videos by my favorite artist Harsh Beniwal and Beyounick, it gave me the idea to do something of my own. My classmates were equally excited to make videos online. We wanted to make videos like other comedians and that’s how we ended up creating the channel ‘Amdavadi Man.’ There is a lot of content that might be inappropriate for all generations and so keeping that in mind we altered our ideas and made it more consumable by everyone. Today we are all finger crossed as soon we are expecting to touch a million subscribers on YouTube. My decision of becoming a comedian instead of a normal office job got me so far and all I can say to everyone is that it is never too late to opt for something you like. Following your passion is more respectful and joyful.’ His journey as a next-door comedian has been incredible and can inspire the young generation to follow their passion in return for some hard work and dedication just how Kushal Mistry did it for him.
